According to Leonhardt,

a ?60 Minutes? producer came across a 2005 news report from Mr. Dobbs?s CNN program on contagious diseases. In the report, one of Mr. Dobbs?s correspondents said there had been 7,000 cases of leprosy in this country over the previous three years, far more than in the past. When Lesley Stahl of ?60 Minutes? sat down to interview Mr. Dobbs on camera, she mentioned the report and told him that there didn?t seem to be much evidence for it. ?Well, I can tell you this,? he replied. ?If we reported it, it?s a fact.?

The truth is that the evidence behind the statement is jist not there. The Southern Poverty Law Center later took out advertisements in The New York Times and USA Today demanding that CNN run a correction.

I understand your point. But this is exactly what anti-immigrants complain about H1Bs. ( depressing wages, outsourcing etc)

It is interesting that we are using anti-immigrant's arguments to pin L1s.

Thats NOT the key here ... its about violating current laws and regulations, do what ever you want offshore/outsource/onshore ...what ever, violating the rules and act of fraud is NOT ACCEPTABLE in any circumstances and we are pretty sure that ICE/USCIS and other agencies would have the same view.

I am not aware of anything that says that you need to bring this up initially in your job search. I personally wouldn't put it in my CV. Apply for a job, as you would if you had a green card (keeping within the AC21 parameters.) If the question of visa sponsorship comes up then you can say you do not need it. I am not sure why people bring this up with their prospective employers. If you have employment authorisation, you have it, it is not employer specific, it is not site specific, it is quite broad in its scope. The employer has to complete the I-9 like for anyone else. Any issues would be with the USCIS at the time of adjudication and that would be if AC21 rules are broken.

I think that sometimes we project our own fears onto employers and make issues when none exist. I've seen the same sort of doubts expressed about AP travel. Folks need to grow more confident generally. For many their immigrant petitions 140s have been approved and their 485s have been pending for quite a while. They give you these interim benefits for a reason, so you can use them!

Not sure if you are in the IT field, but a reqruiter/HR is the first interfacing person. No matter what, these are the first questions you can expect when a reqruiter calls you.

dice.com, monster.com etc... wants you to select from a dropdown what your status is and in most cases, employers/reqruiters filter reesumes based on that criteria.

I am saying there are problems with USCIS not just the one you are pointing out. My point is if more and more people like you file lawsuits against USCIS for the different kinds of injustice they think USCIS, DOL and DOS had brought on them, we ( all EB categories)will be in better shape to fight together for the bigger cause which is more predictable process and processing and closing as many loopholes as possible in the employment GC journey.

Thank you , you are the first one to understand my message. Thousands of people are paying thousands of dollars to port to EB2 but they can't spare even a shameful 5 bucks to support a truly great initiative. By the way , I am serious about lawsuit. As it will block an easy way out for most people.

Congrats...Not sure whats happening with my case :( The officer is just sitting on it. It went to his desk on Aug 3 :( same here Buddy, i was told that cases assigned to officer on Aug 3 and pre-adjudicated.(NSC) havnt heard back eversince. got standard reply to SR: "Your I-485 case as August 12, 2010 is currently under review. You should receive a decision or notice of other action within 60 days of the date of this letter."

On September 14, 2010 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

My wife received here Welcome letter but I did not get one yet. Here is my timeline...

Bpositive, thanks very much for the verification. At first, I thought my friend was just scaring me by suggesting the senator/congressman route, but seeing your case now I feel foolish as I should've been doing this in early January. I will check my status tomorrow (monday) with the Delhi consulate once more, and then, if need be (fingers crossed), will talk to my boss in Houston about your suggestions regarding congressman's letter. By the way, what if I call DOS tomorrow and they say the I've been cleared, would it still make sense to have congressman approach them? Too many questions, I know, but I guess you know this feeling. Thanks again.

the first contact for the congressman's office is the relevant consulate. so it doesn't hurt. it is a simple process. your boss has to sign a confidentiality release document for you and attach a cover letter. to help your boss, identify the congressman, go to the congressman's website and find out where the forms are, write a draft cover letter etc . you can do this yourself i.e enquire as a constituent just in case you don't want to involve your boss. i think it may be better that it goes through your boss

gcbehu: Same exact sequence for us too. CPO:8/6, Decision/Adit: 8/7, slud: 8/9, Welcome mail(snail mail): 8/13, Last Processing action/Post Decision: 8/13. I can hope by cards should be arriving by8/16-8/18. Keep posted it helps all those tracking....

We received the snail mail welcome notice today after receiving the email ADIT stuff last Tuesday (August 10). That makes it five business days. On the notice it says that we should receive our permanent resident card within three weeks. Anybody who actually received it within three weeks?

I received it within a week...

CIS sent welcome notice on 8/2, and they sent the cards on 8/9...

But this was early Aug. Now it may take few days more due to many approvals in the pipeline..When you receive another update (like post decision activity) saying that they mailed decision notice, that usually means they mailed the cards...

Hello all I am a silent visitor of this website. Just my 2 cents... Don't think USA is like India where you can do something forcefully. Why don't you guys understand the real problem of USCIS. Do you think that by sending flower to USCIS will force them to make EB2/EB3 current for 2005/2006/2007 guys??

Please try to understand their problem. Also India is the great. Why don't you guys just think that India is your home country where you are born and brought up. Why you people can't just wait and watch?? If nothing happens to the so called GC, then why don't you think to pack up and go back to India???????

My sincere request, please don't do rally, you might be arrested......you never know what they can do..... Don't you think that, it is better to go back to India rather than being embarrassed here in US???

Isn't it a shame on us to go for Rally to get GC?????:D

Just think that you will get it when time comes, otherwise pack up.

Please don't take much tension as life is very short. I am assuring you all, nothing will happen with law suit and flower campaign.Don't irritate USCIS by doing all this please.

EB2 India PD-2005-May I140 approved-Sept 2006 Why don't you enlighten us with the real problem that USCIS is facing?

If you think India is Great, why are you here and why did you apply for a GC? Why don't you set an example and leave first?

Nobody is doing anything forcefully. Sending flowers is a Gandhian method as I understand. Dr.Martin Luther King followed the Mahatma's foot steps and succeeded. Don't preach us about US and India.

If you consider it a shame, don't participate and go back. period. Don't tell us to packup.

ok..lets write the letter and the send Flowers to thier local offices in DC..How does this Flower campign work..could somebody tell me..please..along with the flowers can we send a letter instead of a message

It is not too late to write the letter, it is never too late to write the letter!!

Since the letters are only requesting fixing of the interpretation of the law, and not the law itself, there really is no fixed deadlines involved. Of course, sooner it is done, the better our chances are for moving forward.

Its just sad that when it comes to processing immigration applications, we are too many. But when it comes to contributions or calling senators and sending emails, WE ARE TOO FEW :confused: That the agonizing truth.

Can some one please clarify what this case number is. Do we get the case number when we apply for visa, or this is just the approval notice number.

I am going for my interview on 23rd January to Mumbai. I was just trying to find out whether I can call KCC before leaving US to find out if my approval notice is in the PIMS system or not.

Hi,

I'd posted a note earlier. I haven't received any updates yet. I am in contact with 4 other people who interviewed on 4th Jan and are still awaiting a reply. The kentucky number mentioned in one of the replys confirms the date on which our H1 was approved. When you call up the number, on mentioning your case #, it pulls up the date on which H1b was approved.

Could anyone who's received a email/ call please post a message to the group, indicating the wait time and date of the first interview?

Thanks!

I got the RFE at last. I invoked AC21. The RFE for me is asking for 2 evidences

01. Why in Form I-693 medical examiner submitted x-ray but no skin test (we did it because we had the TB vaccination in childhood and skin test would come positive and we had to take x-ray anyway) ---Not an Issue, we can answer that

02. Submit current dated EVL for your new employer. No issue. we can answer that

For my wife also asking for 2 evidences:

01. About the same medical issue. 02. Provide her non-immigrant status between Feb 2003 to Jan 2004.

I don't know what do. Looks like we are doomed. My wife came here with H4 in 2000, was provided I-94 from the airport for 3 years (till Jan 2003), we didn't know then that we have to file a I-539 extension for H4 extension (even couple of my friends had the same idea). We knew that as long as I am on H1, she would maintain H4. I came to know in Jan 2004 and then we applied for I-539. I know this is stupid but that what happened. Anybody has any experience please reply..please please. We are really sleepless this time.

You can not change what had happened. They already found it.

And you did not do that in purpose and the dependant did not take any advantage during that period. So get a good lawyer and give proper explanation. Being out of status does not disqualify the application immediately. It depends on the explanation and the reviewer. There may be exceptions.

Good luck.

What are u guys trying to acheive and how will this help EB3 India? This is awesome lead. It suggests that barring 203 (which does not talk much about per-country limits) and paragraph 2 (which goes moot when there is spill-over), there should be no discrimination. But does the anti-discrimination apply to "qualification requirements" ?? That will be the counter argument against applying this section.
